'''John Vliet Lindsay, Sr.''' (November 24, 1921 – December 19, 2000), was an [[United States|American]] [[attorney]], [[politician]], and broacaster who served two-terms as the [[mayor]] of [[New York City]] from 1966 to 1974. Considered perhaps the most [[liberal]] of any [[Republican Party|Republican]] in the nation, Lindsay was elected mayor in 1965. He defeated two more [[conservative]] opponents, [[Democratic Party|Democratic]] [[U.S. Representative]] Mario Procccacino and the ''[[National Review]]'' publisher [[William F. Buckley, Jr.]], the nominee of the New York Conservative Party, a breakaway from the GOP. When he lost the Republican nomination in 1969 to conservative state Senator John Joseph Marchi (1921-2009) of [[Staten Island]], Lindsay temporarily switched to the banner of the New York Liberal Party to win the [[general election]].
